The paper performs genome-wide association studies on 439 high-abundance serum proteins in 15,035 Scottish individuals, identifying 1,553 SNP signals and 13 putative causal protein-outcome associations.

The paper conducts a Bayesian EWAS and GWAS of smoking using DNA methylation data from blood and brain tissues, identifying smoking-related loci and developing an epigenetic biomarker.

This paper develops an epigenetic score to objectively measure alcohol consumption using blood-based DNA methylation and validates it across multiple cohorts, finding associations with brain health metrics.

The paper conducts blood-based epigenome-wide association studies on 19 disease states, identifying novel CpG-disease associations and highlighting poor replication in existing literature.
